My dog barely ate today. Should I take her to the vet right away?

Question

Nemmy usually snarfs her food immediately, but today she barely touched it, and when I put it directly in front of her she slowly took a few nibbles. Should I take her to the vet immediately or can it wait until tomorrow? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 10 months old | 30 lbs

If Nemmy is acting normally without any vomiting or diarrhea, there is likely no reason for concern at this point. You can wait until tomorrow to see if she is willing to eat as ravenously as she normally does. However, if she is lethargic, or showing signs of vomiting or diarrhea, it may be worth a trip to the vet today to assure that nothing more serious is at play. You can try tempting her to eat with a bit of a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice. I hope that all goes well!
